OHCA said,
The notion of your thread, "If Fatima is real; and if Sister Lucy followed then NO; then we too should follow the NO," attributes to such an instrument of the Lord used at Fatima as being God-like, omniscient, sinless, and infallible. I used the term saint-like as a rough summary. But this even goes beyond saint-like.
The whole notion that you posit is that if Fatima is real, then Sister would not have, or could not have, marched into conciliardom if doing so was wrong. This does not follow. But why would God have let it play out like this?
So, the popes, the cardinals, the bishops, priests, monks, nuns who marched into conciliardom - they are all just fallible human beings, marked by original sin, imperfect but not essentially at fault.
Because that is where your argument leads.
Furthermore, in order to resist the march into conciliardom, Sister Lucy would have had to have been - "God-like, omniscient, sinless, and infallible" - to use your own words.
Where does that leave Traditionalists who reject Vatican II?
You are a knucklehead and you're putting words in my mouth.
What you posited in your titling this thread, at it's essence, is that anyone who believes in "Fatima" should follow Lucy's NO example. Are you too dumb to realize that the implication of your question is that if Fatima is true, then the NO must be right because of Lucy's example? What does one have to do with the other? You're query assumes that if Fatima is true, then the NO must be good because of Lucy's example. The only way that that would necessarily be true would be if Lucy was God-like, omniscient, infallible, and sinless, which she was not.
". . . are
all . . . imperfect but not essentially at fault.
"Because that is where your argument leads."
Try
some rather than
all, Logic-King.
I did not say that Lucy would have had to have been God-like, omniscient, infallible, sinless, etc., to have avoided marching into conciliardom. I am saying that she would have, in addition to being a mere instrument in Fatima (if it's even real), would have had to have been those things for the faithful to have rightfully blindly marched into conciliardom solely based on her example. You're saying that if Fatima is true, then the NO is necessarily good based on Lucy's example. That's the biggest bunch of horseshit logic that I can imagine at the moment.
